Artificial Intelligence and FPGAs: A Grounded Look at Where They Actually Fit
AI hardware conversations tend to collapse into “GPUs vs. everything else,” which skips over a genuinely useful third option for specific workloads: Field-Programmable Gate Arrays. FPGAs aren’t trying to replace GPUs in training massive models — they solve a different problem, and understanding that problem is more useful than any single benchmark number. Here’s an...
